I have photos for Carmine and Ettore also but the system wouldn't let me upload them to share with you.
Yes, i am very lucky. My grandmother was very close with her uncles because she was an only child. As a result, i was close to them as well. One Uncle, Louie Pinto, made several trips back to Torremaggiore and everyone gave him photos of themselves. His wife, Helen, shared them all with me and i digitized them and saved them to my tree on ancestry....

Do you know the approximate year of birth for Ettore?
No, i don't but based on the other children you found, i'd guess early 1870s. If i had to GUESS, i'd say late 1872 or ealy 1873 but that is based soley on the spread of the other children.

I just noticed this. They must be related somehow....very interesting but not sure what to do with it just yet. You think it likely this Michele is Luigi's father, which would make Francesco, Luigi's grandfather?

I don't think you can assume that There are MANY Lamedica in the town, and many with the same names.... Hold onto the record, it MAY connect to someone...
Thanks for the additional info on Carlo Michele. Yes, you are right, there must be another becuase the Michele we thought it was (i didn't know him but i do have a adult picture) had 4 children: 2 boys and 2 girls so there must be another.....
I wonder if i might ask you to kindly take a quick look at this record that Paul found. I'm confused because it seems to list not only Enrico but also Ettore and Carmine. Also, is that a death notation on the side?

Enrico's full name was Enrico Ettore Camillo Lamedica
You are correct that the notation in the right column is for his death which took place on 11 December 1956 in Torremaggiore. Numbers mean 1956, Parte I, Act #168
